So I am type one and was diagnosed 5 months ago at the age of 26.
My dad is type 2 and was diagnosed around 15 years ago, his diabetes has never been well concerned with his last HBA1C at 86.
My first hbac1 was 56 (my diabetic nurse was really pleased)
After saying to dad he needs to change his diet and get his under control as he is losing his sights and gets ulcers etc he has started testing regularly and making notes of his sugar levels.
He has just told me his diabetic nurse said his diabetes is changing to type 1..
I feel pretty annoyed as he was never supportive when I was diagnosed amnd was wondering whether you can become a type 1 after being a type 2 for 15 years?
Thanks
